<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2478130, member: 80121&quot;]So you honestly believe that a &quot;First Day of Issue&quot; is not a marketing ploy (it does cost extra to get that label). I believe in Capitalism and a company exists to make a profit. What I don&#039;t believe in is taking advantage of people&#039;s lack of knowledge. I have a friend who owns a coin shop and I can&#039;t begin to tell you the abuse he takes when people bring in coins that they bought on TV and he has to break the news to them that they overpaid or that limited 5,000 mintage coin issued by Niue and minted by the Perth Mint isn&#039;t really worth what they paid for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always lived my live with the idea of earning an honest dollar with an honest effort. Judging by the number of companies that are coming out of the woodwork and offering to certify and grade coins, it must be a profitable business. Look at the first page of the Greysheet and see the ratings of the different mainstream TPGs. Even PCGS, the top rated is below 90%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
